Anyone used the rubber door stops from lmc? Seems that these are oversized for the holes that are on the body where they are soposed to go???? What should I do... Drill the hole bigger?

Try lots of dish soap and a rubber mallet...

I do not use or sell the reproduction rubber door bumpers and I certainly wouldn't enlarge the holes in one of my trucks for them. They are too hard and tend to make it harder to close your doors. I use and sell only Genuine GM. They are softer and install easier. WES

So what is your price for a full set, both sides?

Agree with Wes, don't drill. I've tried bumpers from the truck shop and lmc, fit is bad with both. I have a set from Brothers but have not tried them. I'm looking for an NOS set.

OK...I had gotten these rubber bumpers from LMC a few years back... for the life of me i couldn't get them into the holes...so i gave up but today i came across this post and see im not the only one... so i did use the DAWN dish soap,pliers and a flathead screwdriver and tucked and twisted and a little shoving...it worked no damage to truck or rubber bumper
took about 10 minutes
Tho im still gonna go NOS or GM only because it was still a pain in the ass

New GM bumpers are soft like a pencil eraser. Aftermarket Chinese ones are way more firm. As cheap as GM ones are, no contest.
